I enjoy being outdoors and want to learn more about it and how nature works - especially in Australia, where so much is new for me. That's why I want to try WOOFing. I'm also interested in cultural exchange. Although I grew up on a farm with cows, my knowledge about is rather basic. I'm really looking forward to expanding my knowledge of nature and farming.

I see WWOOFing as a chance to learn hands-on skills, connect with people who share a love for the land, and experience simple living with purpose. Iโ€™m curious, reliable, and eager to help wherever I can โ€” whether thatโ€™s gardening, caring for animals, cooking, or lending a hand with community projects. Back in home and prior to moving to a city, I grow up in a rural small town where my grandparents have a farm I go to every weekend and so I'm excited to use my holiday breaks to be immersed in nature, learn new farm/life skills, help on farm projects and meet new people/lifelong friends!

I joined WWOOF because I would love to meet and help hosts by living in their home. I think it is the best way to understand how people live and really getting into the culture of the country I am travelling in.

I'm really interested in self-sufficient, permaculture, or some way to live with animals and nature. In this modern era, we even don't know where the food we eat every day comes from. We just go to a supermarket, buying some packed foods and consume them, then throw away many plastic. I don't know how a farmer grow vegetables, picking/packing, transporting to the market. I don't know how to milk a cow, how to kill pigs, how many people are related to transport these products and determine the market price. I feel this is crazy. I want to know and experience how foods I consume every day are produced and come to the table. I often search how to start self-sufficient life, wondering how to do, and found the best way is to learn from people who realise the self-sufficient life. There're several work exchange sites to provide similar service to WWOOF like Helpx, Workaway, and I'm also interested in such services because cultural exchanges is also very attractive. However, my main purpose is to learn how to realise the self-sufficient life, permaculture or any sustainable way of life. WWOOF is the best work exchange sites to connect with the host.

My parents were already WWOOFers in Australia and so was my aunt. I want to experience and get to know the culture, the people and the landscapes up close. The opportunity to explore Australia at a reasonable price and in full adventure is a great opportunity ๐Ÿ™‚

I joined WWOOFing because I wanted to experience a more authentic and hands-on way of connecting with nature and communities. For me, itโ€™s not just about traveling but also about learning practical skills, understanding sustainable lifestyles, and working alongside people and having a everyday life in Australia. I like the idea of exchanging knowledge and contributing to a meaningful project while being part of a community.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

I joined WWOOF, because it is a great combination of getting to know people and learning. I've known about the organisation for years and have been a WWOOFer before, when I was travelling around New Zealand. As mentioned before, there are a lot of plants surrounding me back home in Germany. However, while my house plants especially are doing rather well, I couldn't claim that I know much about what I am doing. That is even more true for the outdoor plants in our garden. So naturally, I'd love to learn more about keeping plants alive and growing food organically. WWOOF seems like the optimal place to do that, because my hosts can share their experience with me and I can learn new skills by doing. Furthermore, it gives me an opportunity to meet new people, which I otherwise likely would not meet; hostels feel like half of their occupants are my compatriots which isn't bad per se, but I do not have to fly all the way to Australia for meeting them.

Our goal is to learn as much about home steading, gardening, and animal care as possible, as our goal is to design and build our own self-sufficient home and gardens. We love travelling and both have a keen interest to explore Australia, meet new like-minded people and expand our knowledge and understanding about these topics.

I grew up working on a horse farm in Ohio, but in recent years, my life has become increasingly urban. I miss the connection I used to have to nature, animals and rural life. I have previously found WWOOF USA to be a great way to regain this connection. As a solo traveler I find that it feels safer when arriving somewhere with a legitimate connection and a plan for the coming weeks. I also love to have routine and purpose in my day.

We are nestled on 100 acres of stunning bushland on Wonnarua Country, in the midst of the Watagan forest of the Lower Hunter Valley, 1.5 hours from Sydney and Newcastle. There is a wide variety of wildlife including lyrebirds, wallabies, echidnas and wombats, blue and fairy wrens, kookaburras, satin bower birds, black and sulphur crested cockatoos. We are growing tomatoes, pumpkins, zucchinis, mustard greens, rocket, kale, broccoli, carrots, beans (all types), herbs (all types), citrus, and many other fruits and vegetables. We are in the process of developing a master plan for our property, having moved here in August 2018. We are increasing the number of fruit and nut trees, are continually expanding the vegetable gardens, and enjoy fresh eggs with our 6 chickens and 2 roosters. The property is situated on the crest of a hill, with a beautiful area for camping and meandering in the valley by a natural brook, and another area at the top for workshops and retreats. Keith has a background in Ag Science and biotech start-ups (after a first career as a university professor); Brynnie has been growing not-for-profit organisations in the sustainability, health, maintaining Indigenous culture and social justice space (after a first career in international corporate law) and has studied Zen Shiatsu. Keith has lived in Germany and Brynnie is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese (having lived in Brazil) and gets by in French. Our children are in their mid-20s, having studied art history, philosophy and entrepreneurship, and environmental science, ecology and Spanish. We also have older children (via Keith) and seven grandchildren. We moved to this property in 2018 after having lived in Sydney for more than 25 years. 'Kawalang' means abundance in Wonnarua language. There is more about the property on our website.
